The Event: Chapter 13

Mick LaSalle published the 13th chapter of The Event. As we are used to from Mick by now, another great chapter with some fascinating developments. This is how it starts…

The death of Sadie East marked the last time the American people were ever united â€“ and appropriately, it was in grief.

Yes, they turn it into a tragic murder. The murder suspect? One Sebastian Uribe, a drug addict from Guatemala.
